Is my guppy's fin rotting?

I suspect that my guppy has fin red because his fin is slowly disappearing and he can hardly swim anymore. I put him in a spawning box because I heard that fin rot is contagious for the other fish. What should I do now? Are there any good medications? Could it perhaps not be fin rot, maybe something else.

best regards Alex

Foils – or even the melting of the fins due to a much too high ammonia content of the water – are a sign of an untreated, unworking aquarium.

Highly loaded water, a high germ density and bacteria density lead precisely to such "disorders".

Do not use any medication, but only helps to inform yourself and act as thoroughly as possible. But all that you write is not true and all your aquaristic problems disappear in a wonderful way from all alone.

Just because you don't like my answers because they show your mistakes, my answers are not unfriendly!

My answers are objective and correct – and emerge from a decades-long aquaristic experience.

Melting fins—whether by ammonia or a bacterial fin bottle—are caused by inadequate hygiene or other errors in the aquarium.

It's just that – it can't be discussed.

But you have miraculous explanations for everything, feel attacked and unfriendly.

So the problems in your aquarium will not be solved.

At 14, I think it's too young for aquariums. Unless your parents support you. A well-running aquarium is not so easy. You think it's good, but at your age, mistakes are normal. That's why too young.

I am also 14 and have also brought my whole aquarium to run…. I've also affected an animal and it's the pre-owner… Well, that with the fins is a problem with the immune system of the animal that means you can do little there. but it can plug in the triggering germs anyway in any aquarium…
